If You Used Hot Folder Print v1.0...
If you used the previous version of Hot Folder Print, you can still install the current version on your PC. The new version is
installed using a different folder structure, so your Hot Folder Print v1.0 is still available for use. However, DNP
Imagingcomm America Corporation does not recommend running both versions of Hot Folder Print at the same time on the
same system. Doing so can cause printing errors as well cause the software to malfunction.
Installing Hot Folder Print v2.0
After you have copied the installation file to your system, simply double click the icon to begin the
installation wizard (icon shown at right). Follow the on-screen prompts to finalize the installation and begin
using the software.
What’s New in this Version of Hot Folder Print?
The following is a list of new features in this version of the application:
 New User Interface. Hot Folder Print shows you the status of your printers with a new, modern interface that also
highlights error and warning conditions for ease of use. The new interface also allows you to select a print size,
change the order of the prints (necessary for duplex printing), and to easily make changes to color and other
configuration settings. Now it’s even easier than ever to see when your system is running low on media thanks to the
new status dashboard.
 Duplex Printing. Hot Folder Print now supports printing to DNP DS80-DX duplex printers.
 High Resolution Print Support. Now you can print your images in 300x600 dpi.
 Print Finish Selection. Select between matte or glossy prints.
 Enhanced Color Settings. Now, Hot Folder Print supports more color control for your prints. You can configure
RGB, gamma, brightness, saturation, and sharpness settings as needed.
 Custom Media Thresholds. Using the new customizable media thresholds, you can set when your software returns
a warning or error status when you are running low on media.
 Easier ICM Support. Using the new interface it is now easier than ever to load new ICM files.
 Supports multiple printers. This version of Hot Folder Print allows support for up to 6 DS or RX series printers
(including the DS80-DX printer).
 Two printing modes. Switch between drag and drop (folder) mode or the new image import mode (user interface).
 Expanded language support. Supports English, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Canadian
French.
